[trev2]

I have a 1997 v8I 3.9 disco1.It recently dropped number 1 conrod with disasterous results.There were no warning signs.The vehicle had only travelled 170klm.How common is this? What may be the likely causes.Thanks

No telling what caused it. The big question is what are you going to do now?
